TRA launches PAS 107 accreditation programme

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- The UK's Tyre Recycling Association (TRA) is to offer Quality Protocol (QP) audits for Tyre Derived Rubber Materials (TDRM) to all its members. From this Autumn, qualifying TRA member companies will be able to acquire new product status for a range of size reduced materials derived from old tyres. Until now all such materials, however valuable, have been deemed waste and therefore subjected to permit and transportation constraints.

The additional QP accreditation will be offered as an extra to the routine annual compliance audit which TRA members undergo to achieve accreditation to the UK tyre industry's Responsible Recycler Scheme (RRS).

TRA President Mike Wilson commented: "TRA members who opt for QP status can do so simply and economically as part of the routine audit to which all are already subject."
